In today’s workplace, stress and burnout can have a significantly negative impact on one’s physical, mental, and emotional well-being. In fact, the World Health Organization included “burnout” in its International Classification of Diseases and defined it as an “occupational phenomenon.”
While burnout is something anyone can experience, many of us feel it deeply in our professional lives. In a recent study, Gallup researchers found that three in four workers experience burnout on the job, and 29% report feeling burnt out at work very often. That is why many leaders are searching for ways to eliminate these emerging challenges and prevent manager burnout.
In this important four-week interactive series, you will learn tangible takeaways that will help you identify, address, and manage common workplace stressors and learn the important skills that will generate engagement and foster happiness. We will cover critical subjects including, work-life balance, resilience, psychological safety, and reducing worry.
Week 1 Work-Life Balance for Leaders
Many believe that you should separate your work life and personal life. Well, that is easier said than done. The truth is that we can’t, therefore the goal must be to create a happy life at home and at work. This allows you to bring either life into the other in a way that increases your effectiveness. If your personal life is well, this will positively impact your work life and if your work life is well, this will positively impact your personal life.
After completing this session, you will begin to see how you can balance your work and your life. You will learn how to overcome the challenges of managing your work objectives while nurturing, maintaining, and developing your personal relationships, health, hobbies, and general wellness.

Week 2 Developing the Skill of Resilience as a Leader
Resilience is the ability to navigate through challenging life situations with intention, a strong mindset, self-awareness, and the ability to adapt to change quickly so we grow and evolve with and from it. When consistently practiced, it helps to reduce stress and anxiety and provides for greater focus on your ambitions.
The goal of this session is to help you develop and/or strengthen the skill of resilience through mental, emotional, and behavioral flexibility, and learn how to adjust to external and internal demands using this skill.

Week 3 Building Psychological Safety as a Leader
The need to feel psychologically safe isn’t a new requisite, but unfortunately, it has not always been the top priority for many leaders. As organizations look at areas such as engagement, inclusion, and mental health – psychological safety has become an increasingly important focus.
When leaders feel psychologically safe, they’re emboldened to offer fresh ideas, new perspectives, and innovative solutions. It also enables personal growth and development by promoting learning and discovery behaviors.
The benefits also impact teams and largely the companies they work for. According to a new report, findings revealed that there is a direct correlation between psychological safety and managerial effectiveness. When managers’ skills are rated a 9 or 10 by their employees, they have an average psychological safety score of 84%. Conversely, those whose overall skills are rated a 6 or lower had an average psychological safety rating of 36%. So, how can leaders cultivate a personal and professional culture of psychological safety?

Week 4 Reducing Anxiety, Fear, and Worry
With rising levels of stress and burnout, the task of attracting and keeping top talent has never been more complex. It is not just the engagement, productivity, and performance that are at stake. Emotional meltdown may damage the company image, disrupt client relations and team morale, and result in negative public reviews.
As a leader, how can you tell the difference between career passion and addiction to stress? What signs to watch out for and what questions to ask before it’s too late? Where is the fine line between professional and personal boundaries regarding emotions?
